Microsoft Forms is introducing a new solution for syncing response data to Microsoft Excel for the web. This change will impact WSU faculty and staff who access Microsoft Form responses in Excel to analyze and visualize data.
The new Forms sync solution will replace the current data sync solution that exists in the following form types by Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024:
- Forms created from Microsoft OneDrive and Excel for the web
- Group forms created with SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft 365 Groups
WSU employees who view form responses in Excel and own forms created via the above methods are encouraged to enable the new data sync solution by Oct. 20 to continue receiving form response data in their Excel workbooks.
After Oct. 20, online Excel files configured with the older data sync will no longer update with new form response data. However, form owners can enable the new data sync via Excel for the web anytime to resume response data collection for their workbook.
More information on enabling the new Excel data sync solution is available on the ITS website.
For any Microsoft Forms questions, please contact Crimson Service Desk via email at crimsonservicedesk@wsu.edu or phone at 509-335-4357.
